ever thought about not thinking: 01/01/2004

this coming monday. jess' parents suggested that i tagged along with them to catch the last samurai. ohmygod. i hv no choice bt to agree..

time to smooth the attitude *grin*

(side note: whoever's reading this. u're the 2nd to find out! lynnie loo is the first!)

hello!
friday 23rd january... jess and i intended to head to sentosa for a little canoeing and rollerblading but it rained pretty damn heavily (just as we were about to reach sentosa nonetheless! bummer!)

so we went to jurong swimming complex to slack instead (u know, the one with e slides, wave pool n stuff?)

as usual we go on each other's nerves :P in a good way! then we hung out in my car coz it was raining and jess was pretty darn cold (my car's a good place to warm up coz the aircon isnt working ha-ha-ha ) so0 we had tea from KFc and pineapple tarts which i brought and which were meant for the beach. oh well..

then we came back to my place to get my jacket and jess played with my 4 hammies! (bagel is being bullied by muffin and i had to seperate them) at which my parents met jess *grin*

my mom was quite surprised that jessica wasnt chinese hehe whereas my dad seem pretty nonplussed about it. either way it went well :)

jess and i went to watch Goodbye Lenin! (an alright show, more arty and political thn comedy) then we had dinner at a small german pub at united sq. (haha all things german today, including you jess!) afterwhich we hemmed-and-hawwed over where to go and ended up buying a barcardi breezer for jess and a carton of orange juice for my sscrewdriver and heading back to my place

i hve a small table with two chairs at the balcony, so i opened the windows wide and we sat there looking out at the sea/sentosa/opposite block of flats, drinking our drinks while some jazz was piping over the hifi. pretty good! hehe

and oh, we played coy (at least i know i did.. haha) for awhile and then i kinda held her hand *big smile* and later we kinda cozied up till she had to go :P

sent her back, during the journey we shifted the gears together heehee, and we stayed in the car for awhile even though we've reached her place.

now i just got an sms frm her - her parents would like to meet me!

panic!

its chinese new year.

i went shopping for clothes with jessica today.. bought a coupla stuff and i made her try a salmon sushi with wasabi (she usually takes it out coz its.. hot. its not hot!) hehe

as usual, the company was tops. -wink- and its a good thing that they had the dress size that jess wanted at plaza sing.

seriously m)phosis should buck up on their customer relations! there was a dress but in M size and jess needed Small, so we asked them if they had anymore sizes around and she said no. without even checking!!

so we had to ask another if they had Small at Plaza Sing, coz the last time we went there, they had it. lo and behold, p.s. had it in stock.

stupid fat sales person.

should be going to sentosa with her on friday. :) which is cool of course.. haha we might be rollerblading (which i suck at) or canoeing (not too bad) and get as close as possible to being sunburnt. but not sunburnt.

its funny, coz jess asked me what was i doing on friday, and i said "nothing" and i asked her wat was she doing on friday and she said "nothing". so i went "oh.." and asked if she had to visit relatives n all that stuff but she said she'll only be going on thursday and saturday. that leaves friday free. so i went "ah.. " and kept quiet.

i wanted to see if she'd ask me out -grin- but there was a pregnant silence and before she could change her mind and plan something for friday, i spoke out "do u want to go out on friday?"

capre diem ;P

you're probably gonna read this someday jess, so hello!

i forgot to add.

my current obsession. 80's metal-rock.

im quite surprised. my dad used to be quite a rocker. he listens to Lep Zep, Deep Purple and guess the latest band he recommended to me?

Black Sabbath, ladies n gentlemen.

and he told me he went to Jethro Tull's concert while he was working in Germany (before i was born)

and he went to the Deep Purple's concert back when they came to singapore (2000? 2001?)

im in two minds!

i feel lk im about to jump into the unknown. and im very wary.
it can either go two ways if i "jump"

a) good
b) bad

that sums it up. hey lynnie, if u are reading this, u know what im talking about huh *wink*

===

i cant believe someone reffered to someone i used to know as "voice of the decade"

ugh. even the person who interviewed the band for a magazine article thought his voice was, grating. (to put it mildly. like how ketchup is mild compared to jalapeno sauce)

i think relationships turn you. u no longer become the original you. u get influenced (or tainted) by the other party. sometimes u wrought the greater influence over your partner. sometimes, its the other way around.

its only when u break up and become single again that some sense of self returns to you. but like all experiences in life, u *do* change after every single one of them.

cliffhanger of understanding:

when two parties discuss and come to a conclusive understanding.

but the catch is either party doesnt know what the other person understands.

i think everybody knows if they're interested in a person straight up from the first meeting.
subsequent meetings just reinforces the feeling.

the trick is to know when to confess... too early and it'll just scare the other party away. too late and, well it'll be too late!

sometimes you've just gotta be serious and sincere and let the chips fall where they may

i never could write poetry, but this kinda sums up the feeling du jour.
it's by W.B. Yeats

== Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven==

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

==

life is on the upswing. :)

go nick!

on a better note.

you know the feeling you have, when all you're thinking about is, "when will be the next time i see her?"

the anticipation. the hopes and dreams.

that's a good feeling

why new year is fucked.

1) this is the one day whereby if u didnt have a cool and fun countdown to, you'll feel fucked

2) you're one step closer to your grave

3) increase in GST (5%)

4) pollution in the world will increase

5) you'll definately meet more fucked up people

6) your friends might die

7) you have to go back to work on the 2nd

8) another month, another credit card bill. only this time, its pumped on steriods due to your christmas extravagence

9) new dangerous diseases will be discovered

10) more antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria

11) this might be the final year of your relationship

12) due to the failure of yr relationship, u will turn to drugs and/or alcohol

13) more stray animals will be put down

14) more stupid people will generally fuck up your day

15) your peer gets promoted

16) your rival in love/work gets one up on you

17) your ex (remember reason number 11?) is sleeping with that annoying person you've never liked

18) people still abandon their poor pets

19) forget it, that pretty/handsome girl/guy is already attached

20) you'll lose someting valuable.

why the new year will be great

1) just like you, everyone else might die at any time. that includes stupid people who annoy you. whether u have a part to play in their timely demise is up to you

fuck the new year. happy new year? my arse.

but if u had a good time, power to you. me? ha.
